What's it like having fraternal twins boy and girl?

[Anonymous]

A mutual friend within my family just gave birth last month to twins; a boy and a girl. The woman's husband (both are parents for the first time) got his wish of having a boy but at the same time also a girl.

What's it like when you have twins of both genders? Is it harder to raise them, easier, etc?

So I might actually be able to talk on this because I am a twin. Now then in every situation a boy and a girl can't look the same it's supposedly physically impossible for twins. Girl and a girl can look the same a boy and a boy can look the same.

For some reason my brother and I look the exact same I don't know if his DNA got jacked up at some point but he looks very girly. I never let him live it down either I'm an asshole. Lol

Twins are my worst nightmare. I have twin nephews and watching them be born and helping with them was so stressful. It's much easier to have one kid at a time vs two

I have a fraternal brother. My father used to say that after she had the two of us, my mother ne er again mentioned having any more kids.

yeah I can imagine. It must be hard getting them to sleep since they can wake up at different times.

I don't know about raising and everything since I'm not married and I don't have children but I really want to have twins of both genders.

But raising children isn't easy for sure so raising twins might be difficult still, If I had the chance to have twins, I'll be so happy, no matter what happens to me

yeah it must be definitely hard. I heard that twins might not even go to sleep at the same time and wake up crying at different hours since they're both still a different person. Still, I think a twins of both genders is the best, getting to enjoy raising both worlds, both a boy and a girl. Unique indeed.
